  2. Contract Buy Out

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Travel

    No. At least not usually. There is usually a clause in the contract that will state the "Company" or "Hospital" will do everything it can to complete the contract but the "traveler" should understand...

  3. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    May all your plans work out the way you expect Jim. I have to ask why two RV's? Have you checked in the carrying capacity for the F350? Putting a slide in camper may decrease your pulling...

  4. Housing Issues

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to LadyTiger44's topic in Travel

    Had a similar issue several years ago. "Housing provided by Hospital". They described what I understood to be a "Duplex" house with 2 persons living in each. Arrived to have "house full" and stayed at...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to MedicLifelineRN's topic in Travel

    I have not tried a VA contract yet. May in the future. Know an ER nurse who has done several and is currently on an Island in the Caribbean. Met her while in Denver. She reports pros and cons....

  6. RV's anyone???

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    Two more hours of being on call my last shift. Getting ready for the 1700 mile trip from South Florida to the Midwest. Working in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for the summer. Have had some work done on the...

  7. Do you really have to use an agency to get a travel contract?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to northmississippi's topic in Travel

    No reason that I know of that you can't. Well maybe all the contract negotiations and legal mumbo jumbo that seems to be involved with getting a job. The I 9 forms, background checks, drug screens,...

  8. New to travel..have questions on my first assignment

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to momofthree's topic in Travel

    I agree with what Bagladyrn wrote. $11.00 an hour for nursing is not a reasonable wage you shouldn't take any less than what you are currently making at your other job. Pay your fair share of the...

  9. Cross Country vs. American Mobile

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to jack4408's topic in Travel

    An exclusive contract is one between a hospital and an agency. The hospital allows the company to do the screening, interview and job offer. I didn't have a chance to speek with anyone at the...

  10. Quiting a contract assignment...will it hurt my chances??

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to chingy1206's topic in Travel

    Just do the right thing. You agreed to do a job, finish it. Consider it a learning experience. You can always do what you want but remember the price you pay may be steep. But that's just my opinion...

  11. Which Travel Agency Do You Recommend?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Madiera's topic in Travel

    It's not the "company" so much as it is the person you speak with and how they interact with you. Call a bunch, talk to several and find the few you can communicate with. I used to think that one or...

  12. Considering traveling...

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to hil04's topic in Travel

    If you enjoy the OR and can get back into it for a bit you might have a chance. If you can Scrub and Circulate it is much better. Problem I'm running into right now is that places are waiting till the...

  13. Travel Nursing for New(ish) nurse

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to sully75's topic in Travel

    To travel you need to have at least a year of current experience in the unit you want to work in. You also need to be able to walk into a hospital and in no more than 3 days be able to take a full...

  14. MedPro Staffing?

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to teleboarder's topic in Travel

    Have read the name but never worked for MedPro. Don't know anyone in my multiple years of travel that has either. That really doesn't mean anything though. You will probably find that most travel...

  15. Bereavement

    RNERHOUSESUPOR posted a topic in Travel

    My Dad died a week ago today. I took a week off when he was diagnosed and went "home" with my youngest daughter to see him. I thought he would be OK until my assignment ended in May but....... The...

  16. Thinking about Travel Nursing

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to rockymnthoney's topic in Travel

    My first job as a nurse was a travel contract at Highland General Hospital in Oakland, CA. It was the county Trauma Center and I worked in their very busy ER for two different assignments. I went to...

    Don’t know of a company, but cost may be an issue. Especially for a

  18. Cross Country vs. American Mobile

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to jack4408's topic in Travel

    The one that you find that works with you, does not try to push you into something and will take the time to deal with what you need. I'm sure there are many good companies with good people working...

  19. Renter's Insurance While Traveling

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in Travel

    Don't know what you are taking with you but don't know why you would need insurance on much. Are you leaving a lot of furnature in a rented apartment? What is the deductable on your policy. For me I'd...

  20. Considering travel nursing for relocation purposes

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to love2kwilt's topic in Travel

    From what I have found, the company will assist with apartment complexes and maybe a bit more. I've asked about "campgrounds" and get no response for quite a bit. I travel with my RV so having a...

  21. ob/nursey/l&d/pp for 20 years would like to explore traveling my kids are grown

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to meshela's topic in Travel

    You should have plenty of experience. I have a friend in the same specialty. I haven't talked with her for several years though. Maybe you will run into her if you start traveling. There is a lot of...

  22. American Mobile

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Smiley6's topic in Travel

    Maybe it's not your lesson to be learned. It sounded like you were upfront and straight forward with everyone, they just didn't do the same for you. Why is there no recourse for the honest individual...

  23. Contract tips

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to suzanne4's topic in Travel

    I have never heard of a travel company offering "tuition reimbursement". They hardly offer money for CEU's anymore. As far as travel, I get the same travel money that I got in 1989. $300 each way for...

  24. CCTC and RN network recruiters

    RNERHOUSESUPOR replied to Nicole29's topic in Travel

    Yes it is personal experience. Had been with the company for several years. Always good evaluations and referrals. Then they left me hanging. Will never recommend them or not respond to a comment or a...
